One part church, two parts dojo, the Righteous Fist of the Lord (their own name for themselves) combines a militant Protestant doctrine with a strong mistrust of technology as the source of humanity's ruin. Members train intensively in martial arts to avoid any reliance on technology. Once sufficiently trained, they are encouraged to go forth, do good, and protect the weak. The Fist is loosely organized and decentralized. Outside training facilities and regular religious observances, the church exerts little or no control over its members. Fists take an oath to do right, aid one another, and fight only in a just cause, but interpretation of the oath in the field is largely left to individual discretion, though blatant misdeeds will result in expulsion. Celibacy is not a requirement for Fists, and members have something of a reputation as would-be pickup artists.
Fists: Freelance martial artist do-gooders. Most are nomadic, but some will commit to a cause in the longer term.
Trainers: Trained members unable or unwilling to travel, usually due to age or family commitments, serve as the order's training staff. They also defend the order's churches as necessary.
Ministers: The order's religious leaders and spiritual guides. A few have martial arts training, but the majority are only trained in religious matters, and are far more comfortable preaching than in combat.
